Description

Removes whitespace characters from the front and end of the text.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is the most commonly used of the three trim functions — reach for it by default unless you specifically need one-sided trimming.
• Internal whitespace between words is left untouched; this only strips the leading and trailing edges.
